About The Tamburlaine
Blending characterful design with a hint of old-school charm, The Tamburlaine hotel is the perfect base from which to explore the historic city of Cambridge.
With its fine Gothic architecture and scholarly atmosphere, Cambridge possesses more than its fair share of allure and the new Tamburlaine hotel makes a vibrant addition to this fascinating city. Close to the historic centre, it welcomes guests whether they're staying the night or simply dropping in for a cocktail. Each sociable space, from the brasserie-style Dining Room to The Library, has its own distinctive look, while the Garden Room with its ornate wallpaper, sumptuous velvet sofas and oversized antique silk rugs, offers a convivial gathering place with all the delight of a comfortable Victorian salon.
